Cathleen Kaveny Named Libby Professor at Boston College

Long-time Commonweal contributor Cathleen Kaveny has joined the faculty at Boston College as the Darald and Juliet Libby Professor, a position that includes appointments in both the department of theology and the law school. Cathy is the first in BC's history to hold a joint appointment. Her colleagues at BC are understandably enthusiastic about working with Kaveny:

“Professor Kaveny’s appointment places Boston College at the forefront of scholarship in both law and theology, with her most recent work offering critical insights on how American law engages highly contested moral debates in an increasingly diverse society,” said Law School Dean Vincent Rougeau. “She will provide an exciting link between the Law School and the College of Arts and Sciences by offering cross-listed courses that explore the intersection of key legal and theological concepts such as justice, mercy, and complicity with evil. We are thrilled to have her join us.”

Congratulations! I know Notre Dame is supposed to be the cat's whiskers and the bee's knees among Catholic Universities, but I've always been partial to the Jesuit institutions of higher education in this country. I predict that Cathleen and Boston College will be very happy together. :) Excelsior!

I also would like to congrats the lady for being appointed as a special position at Boston College. She is already famous for her recent work describing about how American law engages highly contested moral debates in an increasingly diverse society. Thanks for sharing the article.
